1.Every Time I Get Around You
(david lee murphy)
Well i can feel those wheels start turin' 'round honey
When ya walk into the room
The rest of the world fades right off into the blue
Yeah i'm off of the ground up in the clouds
Not sure which one i'm on
And i couldn't tell you what day it is baby
Not when your in my arms 'cause honey
I forget about everything every time i get around you
Girl it's like i got a one track mind all i wanna do
Is stare into those big brown eyes
It's almost like i'm hypnotized
Every time every time i get around you
You'd think by now i'd learned somehow
To keep under control
But girl you're the kind that makes man just wanna let go
I don't care about nothin' but your sweet lovin'
When you look at me that way
And sometimes when i'm holdin' you tight
I can't remember my name 'cause honey
I forget about everything every time i get around you
Girl it's like i got a one track mind all i wanna do
Is stare into those big brown eyes
It's almost like i'm hypnotized
Every time every time i get around you
I forget about everything every time i get around you
Girl it's like i got a one track mind all i wanna do
Is stare into those big brown eyes
It's almost like i'm hypnotized
Every time every time i get around you
2.The Road You Leave Behind
(david lee murphy)
I remember the night my dad stopped the car
And got out in the rain
Changed a blown out tire on a car
For a family with out of state plates
I said dad did we know those folks
As they waved and drove out of sight
He just smiled as he started the car
He said son not 'til tonight
You see the road you leave behind you
Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
You gotta go back down the road you leave behind
Stuck out on the highway one night
Many years gone by
Had the hood of my truck pulled up
My ol' gas tank was dry
Some ol' guy gettin' off on the night shift
Pulled up to check on me
He said i been in your shoes before son
And it's no place to be
You see the road you leave behind you
Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
You gotta go back down the road you leave behind
I said what do i owe you friend you could easily passed me by
He said next time it might be me son you don't owe me a dime
You see the road you leave behind you
Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
You gotta go back down the road you leave behind
3.She's Really Something To See
(david lee murphy)
She sat on the front porch and pulled on her boots
In her favorite old faded blue jeans
And one tail waggin' puppy climbed up into her arms
And i could tell he felt just like me
No matter where she goes he's never too far behind
When she steps out into that morning light
She really something to see
My dream comes alive
When i open my eyes
And i still go weak in the knees
She's too good to believe
And i can tell you that she's
Really something to see
I've seen her in moonlight on soft summer nights
With ten thousand stars in the sky
And in a room full of candles like an angel in white
While the heavens rumbled outside
No matter where she goes i'm never too far behind
When she steps out into that morning light
She really something to see
My dream comes alive
When i open my eyes
And i still go weak in the knees
She's too good to believe
And i can tell you that she's
Really something to see
It's like that movie you've seen time after time
Where you always find something you've missed
Well i could sit here right now and just watch her for hours
'cause i know my world has been blessed
She really something to see
My dream comes alive
When i open my eyes
And i still go weak in the knees
She's too good to believe
And i can tell you that she's
Really something to see
4.Genuine Rednecks
(david lee murphy)
Well i know my place and i'm not ashamed to say it
No darlin' it even makes me proud
If there's one place i know where i'm never alone
It's where i feel most at home
It's in a room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'cause everybody here is genuine redneck
Well darlin' right or wrong where i do belong
It don't come with a crystal chandelier
I'd have to go out on a limb to say i fit in
With all the social high class atmosphere
Why we could slip out the back door and find my pickup truck
Darlin' i'm just wishin' i was in the middle of
A room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'cause everybody here is genuine redneck
Now there may be those who look down their nose
At the company i keep
Oh but just to let you know as good people go
If you don't like them you won't like me
You might find the front door propped open wide
But you'll know you've been somewhere been inside
A room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'cause everybody here is genuine redneck
Good time bonafide real live genuine full blooded redneck
5.100 Years Too Late
(david lee murphy／dobie gray)
When the sun is dawnin' and he's just gettin' up
Starin' out over the mornin' through the steam off his coffee
cup
He thinks about a woman whose love he still holds dear
A sweetheart he kept hangin' on for way too many years
It could've been so different with a family and a wife
But he was crossed between his feelings and that oklahoma sky
Another time and in another place
He might have rode with jesse james
And though he rides he can't out run his fate
'cause he was born 100 years too late
It's hard to imagine another world out there
As he alys beside a campfire up in only god knows where
But he feels the day approachin' when the kind of life he's
known
Will only be in stories and sung about in songs
Another time and in another place
He might have rode with jesse james
And though he rides he can't out run his fate
'cause he was born 100 years too late
And he wouldn't trade one sleepless night beneath the pourin'
rain
If he had it all to do over again he wouldn't change a thing
Another time and in another place
He might have rode with jesse james
And though he rides he can't out run his fate
'cause he was born 100 years too late
6.Born That Way
(david lee murphy／jimbeau hinson)
Came out swingin' and a kickin' with my heels dug in
Puttin' up a fight like they ain't seen since
The doctor held me up looked me in the face
Said he didn't have to slap me but he did it anyway
I don't know why
Just born that way
No i don't know why
Just born that way
No i never had nothin' and i know i never will
All my daddy left me was a funeral bill
If something's too easy something's wrong i know
'cause i was born the gift of a hard way to go
I don't know why
Just born that way
No i don't know why
Just born that way
You know all in all it ain't such a bad lot
You learn to live with what little you got
Never had a job that didn't stink
Never really cared what anybody thinks
I don't know why
Just born that way
No i don't know why
Just born that way
7.Breakfast In Birmingham
(david lee murphy／kim tribble)
She was still on my mind when i crossed the state line
Walked out a little too fast
I said some things that i didn't mean
And i should have taken 'em back
And i knew when i said 'em that voice in my head whispered
Man when are you gonna learn
You told her goodbye you left with your pride
But you're gonna eat those words
And now i'm havin' breakfast in birmingham
Tryin' to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There ain't nothin' like a cold cup of coffee and a stale
apology
I'm having breakfast in birmingham
She's in tennessee
It's a thunderin' sound silver droppin' down
In an ol' pay phone
When you're makin' that call to say you were wrong
And it's ringin' like nobody's home
She's not the kind who'll cry and remind me
That i left and broke her heart
I'm prayin' she answer 'cause i gotta tell her
This time i went too far
And now i'm havin' breakfast in birmingham
Tryin' to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There ain't nothin' like a cold cup of coffee and a stale
apology
I'm having breakfast in birmingham
She's in tennessee
8.Gettin' Out The Good Stuff
(david lee murphy)
Hobo jim was tendin' the fire
He said tonight boys we got a feast
Got a fresh stole hen and half pint of gin
And a big can of blackeyed peas
Said it ain't no joke that hickory smoke
Can work up an appetite
He said roll up your sleeves and don't wait for me
Boys we're gonna do it up right
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
Got the moon and the stars and some quarter cigars
Boys it don't get better than that
Got a big pile of wood and it sure feels good
To just kick back and relax
He learnin' to treasure the simpler pleasures
It comes real easy for me
As a matter of fact life by the tracks
It's kinda hard to beat
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
In the scheme of things you don't wanna save it too long
'cause you can't take it with you when you're gone
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home
9.I've Been A Rebel(And It Don't Pay)
(david lee murphy)
Well dad said son don't you be a fool
Stay away from that old brown mule
He's mean as a snake and twice as quick
Oh but always that kind that had to be shown
I couldn't listen i couldn't be told
Even way back then i had to get my kicks
Yeah i been a rebel and it don't pay
There ain't no future in livin' this way
It ain't worth the trouble and i've tried to change
Yeah i done it the hard way all my life
It's cost me plenty too many times
I been a rebel and it don't pay
If there's a bump in the road well i hit 'em all
You don't really learn 'til you hit a brick wall
Back up and say man i could'a gone around that
Yeah sometimes i wish i could just go along
But that hard headed streak's just a little too long
Gettin' first hand knowledge and goin' nowhere fast
Yeah i been a rebel and it don't pay
There ain't no future in livin' this way
It ain't worth the trouble and i've tried to change
Yeah i done it the hard way all my life
It's cost me plenty too many times
I been a rebel and it don't pay
Yeah i been a rebel and it don't pay
There ain't no future in livin' this way
It ain't worth the trouble and i've tried to change
Yeah i done it the hard way all my life
It's cost me plenty too many times
I been a rebel and it don't pay
10.Pirates Cove
(david lee murphy)
The lake at night is still and black
The water's smooth like polished glass
You've heard the tales so it's time to go
Gonna take you back into pirates cove
Got a sure ol' horse evinrude
And a 12 foot jon boat to carry the brew
A couple of steaks and a big ol' knife
My old ghost is comin' back to life
You could say i know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove
A trail of smoke curls though the trees
Fire down low and there ain't no breeze
Just the cottonmouths and the copperheads
And for some strange reason i fit in
You could say i know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove
Well it's a different world when you get back here
The dancin' shadows disappear
The memories they'll come and go
Someday i'll stay in pirates cove
You could say i know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove
You could say i know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove
